  1. Create a new folder (somewhere on your system) where the application will be located. We'll use /FEWS/201802/ in this example.
  2. Create a /bin/ folder in this (201802) folder.
  3. Copy/extract the FEWS build package in this /bin/ folder.
  4. Copy a (Stand Alone) application folder into this (201802) folder. This is the Region Home folder for this application. We'll use /FEWS/201802/Example_SA/ in this example.
  5. Copy the patch into the Region Home folder (Example_SA). The directory structure should now look similar to this (some elements are optional):

  6. Open the clientConfig.xml file here, if it exists, and check if it contains at minimum the configuration below. More configuration options are available (see its XML schema and/or documentation page: Root Configuration Files for Operator Client and Forecasting Shell Servers). If the file does not exist, it can either be created manually with this minimum configuration or, alternatively, it can be created automatically during step 8.

  7. Navigate to /FEWS/201802/bin/windows/ and double-click createShortcuts.exe.
  8. Click the option to use a clientConfig.xml file, navigate to the relevant folder (/FEWS/201802/Example_SA) using the Browse button and click on the clientConfig.xml file there. Alternatively, if it does not exist yet it can now be created automatically using the New button (make sure to place it in the same /FEWS/201802/Example_SA folder). Depending on your choices, the menu will look similar to this:
  9. Select the location(s) to place the shortcut(s) and click on 'Create shortcuts'.
  10. The next time you would like to start the application you can use any of the just created shortcuts.


For Citrix kind of installations, one can edit or create shortcuts in a different way. This is explained here.
